I was out on the road today and seen plenty of batches training. I'm keen to know how returns were. Where did you take them and how's your returns?

Grim. 30 cocks and 30 hens to inverary, 18 mile or so. Beautiful day. Waiting on 3 cocks and 14 hens. Scunnered!

Ally am afraid to say you are on your own pal but down our way it's mental pal

Ive been lucky so far Allan. Only dropped one so far and they were generally home before me, thought i had cracked it but percy must have been into them today.

Not good I hope your returns get better. In my opinion your birds have the hardest task anywhere in the uk.. I'm in awe of your resilience and dedication. I wish you all the very best for 2017.,

when i trained pigeons i prefered tae let them go in small batches had better returns this way too many birds of prey now prefer tae lose them racing at least they have a chance tae win a race :animatedpigeons:

That's why i only train to inverary, used to train to club or glasgow but losses were always pretty poor, decided to give them a chance in a race like you say and i think im actually better of. Still a scunner right enough but its hard for everyone these days.

They've been flying great round loft, been over the moon with them to be honest. just don't have the confidence they could race to here without training. I don't doubt some could but the majority, I just don't know. maybe need to try a wee experiment some time

I know there are plenty that do the same Tommy but mine have 45 mile of mountains over 1000m. I will probably give it a try though. certainly food for thought :)
